I have been maintaining, pyaction, which is a Docker container with Python, git, and the GitHub CLI. Recently, pyaction surpassed 4 million pulls from the GitHub Container Registry.
The pyaction container was originally developed to support developing GitHub Actions in Python. There are several GitHub container actions that use pyaction as the base image, and specifically pull it from the GitHub Container Registry. So this likely represents over 4 million runs of those dependent Actions. It is also available from Docker Hub.
More Information
Please consider starring pyaction's GitHub repository, and even better using it to develop Actions, or just to use the GitHub CLI:

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl, gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
